Remember how much WWE loves to make fun of WCW for David Arquette being their world champion, or Judy Bagwell as a WCW tag champion?

Keep that in mind every time the company replays this ultimate “putting smiles on faces” WrestleMania moment of having a 10-year-old kid plucked out of the audience to win the Raw Tag Team Championship with Braun Strowman.

After weeks of making you wonder just who Braun would pick as his tag team partner to face The Bar – A perennial loser? An NXT call-up? A returning superstar? – the company didn’t just make a make a left turn, they drove the car into the ditch. Strowman wandered through the crowd and picked a kid, brought him to the ring and had him stand on the apron.

Nicholas did tag in ever so briefly, only to tag out after five seconds so Braun could finish single-handedly squashing the tag champs.

At least Judy Bagwell mixed it up a bit.
